Summary
“Come on,” Shi Qingxuan wheedles, fan falling away from her face, “you didn’t tell me you knew things like this! Does this fall under Earth Master jurisdiction, or something?”
“Of course it doesn’t,” He Xuan scoffs. “Why would it?”
“Then it has to be from your mortal life!” she crows triumphantly. She leans all the way in, their faces just inches from each other. He Xuan’s dead heart is suddenly in his throat. “Tell me, Ming-xiong! Were you involved with plays and theater when you were a mortal? Is that why you can tell all of that is evidently not up to standard?”
“It’s sloppy is what it is,” He Xuan says, and immediately regrets it. Shi Qingxuan’s grin is not dissimilar to the one his fiancée had worn when she discovered He Xuan had a deft hand with makeup, both functional and theatrical.
or: after the Mid-Autumn festival, He Xuan lets slip a thing or two about his mortal life in Fu Gu, where he wasn’t just a scholar. Shi Qingxuan is (in)appropriately delighted by this.
